Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 85 People who are at the bottom often create greater miracles (please vote)

The game is over, everything has come to an end, and the bright red scoreboard hangs on the side of the court, which is useless.

Inside the stadium, against the background of Leicester City fans celebrating wildly, there were lonely Manchester United fans.

They came all the way to sit on one side of the King Power Stadium and gave the team the warmest cheers and encouragement throughout the game.

But the result was still unsatisfactory.

This made everyone feel disappointed. They sat in the stands with their heads lowered for a long time, unwilling to leave.

"Van Gaal has done nothing! What a transformation he has made this team into, and what players he has signed!"

"Now we have to rely on veteran Rooney! Is there no one else who can carry the banner? What if Rooney retires?"

"Look at Leicester City, they are blooming more. Kante, who usually doesn't score goals, can ride on top of us and score goals. What the hell kind of game is this!"

"Farke, I didn't expect that we would become the first team in BIG6 to score points for Leicester City."

"It's absolutely embarrassing and I really can't hold my head high anymore and tell other people that I'm a Manchester United fan."

"I said it well before the game, but as soon as I got to the game, I stretched my hips and turned into a boy giving away points! Let's not talk about not winning, but not even the draw? Do you have to give Leicester City three points?!"

"..."

Complaints abounded, with everyone expressing their dissatisfaction with Van Gaal.

Especially when Van Gaal clashed with the opponent's coach and was sent off with a red card by the referee.

Isn’t this losing a game and losing people?
The team itself has always been relatively turbulent. If the head coach gets a red card and is suspended for one or two games, who will be the backbone?

"madness!!"

This is the final evaluation of Van Gaal by all Manchester United fans.

"Kante! Kanter! Kanter!"

"Chen Yufeng! Chen Yufeng! Chen Yufeng!"

"Arrogant Van Gaal, get out of England, you are a clown!!"

"..."

Hearing the shouts from the stands next to them, all the Manchester United fans turned pale and began to leave.

This Van Gaal was just rushing to slap Leicester City in the face and really acted like a clown.

This made them all a little embarrassed at the moment, and they did not dare to look directly into the eyes of Leicester City fans.

Off the court, Manchester United's players also began to leave the field, with their heads hanging down and a little confused.

"Congratulations, you are very strong."

Veteran Rooney is the only one who can still remain calm. He has seen too many turmoils and ups and downs over the years, and his mentality has long been stable.

He came to Chen Yufeng, fulfilled the agreement between the two during the game, and took off his jersey.

At the same age of 30, Rooney's body has gained some weight, and it seems that his body fat rate is not low.

"You too, this is a difficult victory." Chen Yufeng smiled slightly, also began to take off his clothes, and then exchanged jerseys with Rooney.

"You came from Everton's youth training? I heard from the media?"

Rooney and Chen Yufeng walked down the court together and asked curiously.

He was also a native of Everton's youth training, and was born in the same year as Chen Yufeng, so he was in the same age group at the time.

"Yes, did you forget?"

Chen Yufeng shook his head and said with a smile: "But it is true that time has been too long. The first time I saw you was already 18 years ago."

"Everton U12?" Rooney frowned, seemingly impressed.

"Yes, after that year, when you were 13 years old, you jumped directly to U15, and we never saw each other again."

Chen Yufeng put a hand on Rooney's shoulder and said with emotion: "Until I joined the first team when I was 19 years old, you had already become an England international and joined Manchester United."

"the time passes so fast."

Hearing someone mention this again, Rooney couldn't help but sigh.

He doesn't have much memory of what happened when he was 12 years old, but he can get some impressions after Chen Yufeng's reminder.

After that, he experienced a fantastic debut season in the Premier League at the age of 16.

He became a member of the national team at the age of 17, and later joined Manchester United. He came to Sir Alex Ferguson and became the twin stars of Manchester United with Cristiano Ronaldo, starting a journey to a wealthy family.

His career was brilliant. Countless championships contributed to his first 18 years. He won almost every honor!

And look at the Chinese-American in front of me. He is also a player from the Everton youth training system...

"How did you get here after all these years?"

Rooney couldn't help but stopped in distress and stared into Chen Yufeng's eyes.

"I survived, but I rarely mention it anymore." Chen Yufeng chose not to mention this past event, and just smiled: "At least I'm doing pretty well now, right?"

"Hahaha, of course, you have completely exploded this season."

Rooney shook his head and sighed: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that someone could debut at the age of 30 and perform like this."

"How many more seasons do you want to play?" After a pause, he asked.

"Now that I have started, of course I want to keep playing and regain the honors I have never won before."

Chen Yufeng shrugged, not sure if he was joking or telling the truth. "That's really difficult, especially for a 30-year-old player."

The Premier League trophy, cup trophy, Champions League trophy, etc. suddenly flashed in Rooney's mind. Looking at Chen Yufeng in front of him, he was speechless for a long time, but turned around again when they parted.

"But I believe in you. Before this, who would have thought that you could play this year?"

"That in itself is a miracle."

"And people like you who have no expectations and have been at rock bottom before can hope to create greater miracles."

"Come on! I will pay attention to you after I retire."

Rooney cannot achieve Chen Yufeng's self-discipline and will choose to retire soon. He can only leave his best wishes and hope that this person who has been a teammate since he was a child can realize his dream.

If that day comes, he will definitely turn on the TV to watch it.

"just wait."

Chen Yufeng smiled at the end, shook hands with Rooney, turned around and walked towards the locker room. The two parted, but their hearts were connected for the first time.

"Click!" No one noticed. The media people who followed behind recorded the scene again and put it on the camera permanently.

As for Chen Yufeng, after the turmoil in his heart stopped, he focused all his attention on the front again and stopped being too pretentious about his past.

He is more concerned about helping the team defeat the other BIG6 teams in front of him, score more points, and get Ranieri's pizza with zero seals.

At the same time, help this team win the championship earlier.

If he remembered correctly before, it should have been two rounds in advance. This time, he will at least try to advance five rounds in advance.

"congratulations!"

But a voice suddenly sounded, attracting Chen Yufeng's attention.

Looking to the side, Linda appeared here, and next to him should be his parents.

"Hahaha." Chen Yufeng smiled, remembering Linda's little angel-like encouragement before the game, and couldn't help but step forward and hug the little girl.

"Take a group photo together!" Linda quickly said to her parents, and her father immediately took out his camera and took pictures.

After the group photo was taken, Chen Yufeng put Linda down, and Linda's father stepped forward and extended his hand to him.

"You are very nice."

He was a little incoherent and said something slightly incomprehensible, as if he just wanted to praise Chen Yufeng, "The fans all hoped to win this game, but they didn't expect that the team actually did it in the end."

"It's the result of the whole team's efforts."

Chen Yufeng shook hands with Linda's father. These must be die-hard Leicester City fans who have supported the team for many years.

Most of them still have some influence in the local area, otherwise they would not be able to come to the player tunnel.

"Linda likes you very much, can you give him an autograph?"

Linda's mother came over at this time, took out a pen and paper with a smile, and handed it to Chen Yufeng.

Chen Yufeng happily accepted and signed an autograph for Linda.

If he hadn't exchanged jerseys with Rooney, he might have given his jersey to this cute little angel.

"We all really hope that you can go further, get more honors and achievements, and have a greater influence in this football world."

Linda's father continued, maybe because the team won against Louis van Gaal's Manchester United, he was a little excited at this time, "What about you, do you have any thoughts on those?"

"Yes, I will fight for everything." Chen Yufeng replied with a firm look in his eyes.

"We will always pay attention to you, come on, you will definitely become a big star."

Linda's parents also sent their blessings to Chen Yufeng.

"Me too!" Linda added next to her, with a strange light shining in her eyes, "I want to watch Feng grow up!"

"Hahaha, I am already thirty years old, and I have watched you grow up."

Chen Yufeng finally smiled and touched Linda's head, then turned and walked to the dressing room.

The blessings of the three people greatly improved his self-confidence. This kind of encouragement is very important to every player.

He can feel the love for him from every fan and vows to bring more achievements and honors to these fans.

Not long after, after washing up, Chen Yufeng walked towards his home, ready to take a good rest and reduce the exhaustion of the game.

Van Gaal, the Manchester United coach who was sent off, once again appeared at the post-match press conference and was interviewed by the media.

"Listen, I don't want to say a word about this game again. Don't talk to me about Manchester United's failure, my red card!"

Facing the media, he began to speak with angry eyes: "We will be back soon, whether it is state or ranking in the standings."

"If someone relies on short-term achievements to briefly sit at the top of the standings and be complacent about it."

"Then I will definitely tell him why a wealthy team is a wealthy team and a top coach is a top coach."

"On this field, I will only lose to Mourinho, I will only lose to Wenger, even if it is Pochettino, Alan Pardu and others, I will not lose to an old Italian scholar!"

"Remember what I said, remember these!"

After saying a few words angrily, Van Gaal walked towards the outside of the field. He was so angry that he staggered a little while walking, and even fell in a daze while going down the steps.

No matter what the future holds for him, today, at the King Power Stadium, he cannot escape being called a loser.
